Their income comes from buying, selling, and holding real estate over the long term. 

My husband and I started out flipping houses in 2016 but quickly pivoted to BRRRR as we realized we want to keep those properties rather than sell.

Aha it seems like every time I sell one of mine its the time.

If you lived in the property you can sell it to capture the equity without paying taxes on those gains.

This includes:- Purchase price- Renovation costs- Closing costs (buying and selling)- Holding costsThese expenses offset the selling price to calculate your taxable gain. 

This is often easier in lower tier markets where the appraisals are not indicative of how the property would sell in an arms length transaction.The other risk you run is over extension.

There's always buyer beware.You took a company selling something at face value, you didn't do your diligence.

Would like to sell and capture gained equity, also cash flow is not great and the house needs more work.

Since they keep the loans in-house instead of selling them on the secondary market, they can tailor loan terms to meet your unique circumstances as an overseas borrower.If you have strong assets or savings, consider looking into asset-based loans or no-doc loans.

Do you use the historical selling prices to inform your offer?
